It all started with navy.

It shouldn't be so hard understand there are a project with a different version scheme.
In KDE version numbering "X.0.0" doesn't means first stable version, means first version from X development branch. This was no secret in times of KDE4 release and is no news now.
Even if keep up with this is to much for users, distro maintainers should know better.

As far as I know, kde5 still not stable.
If distros choose to included anyway is not KDE fault.

This goes both ways. Employers are not crazy about any kind of trouble maker.

Well, in Spanish, "putin" means: little "puto".
"putito" is the most common form, but "putin" and "putico" are also valid. Here you got the definition of "puto": http://www.wordreference.com/e...

Java is slow on desktops but has really good performance on servers.
On servers you got plenty of ram and people to tune up the application after the installation. Once you start the application and after the warm up time Java is fast.

And then you leave the organization,
NOT the industry.
Seems the proper decision to me.

Thats true!
From time to time, I get the mail saying somebody has endorsed me for a skill.
When I ask in person to the one who endorsed me he says:
a) he didn't
or
b) he only did 'cos I did it first (but I didn't)

...once they build a community.
They "offer" you to be in contact with all e-mail address book every time you login.
They also send you mails that looks as if contact of your contacts was trying to reach you.
This is bad behavior.
I hope they get into troubles.

Some times it is a bad thing.

A dissenting opinion which has no evidence to back its claims has little to no value.
When the proponents of that dissenting opinion misrepresent the scientific method to fool the science illiterate masses, it is a bad thing.
Several dissenting opinions we hear now days holds on by plain deception.

I you want to hear the same amount of valid points from both sides,
you need Teller, not Penn.

The point of running slackware is compiling from source when you don't find a build/package for some application.
I don't say slackware doesn't supports X until I try to do:

./configure
make
make install

If you don't want to go that far, may be you should check other distro. This "missing package" for some app or driver will keep happening.

My neighbor's Dog?!
